ADJUSTABLE ramnoa surron'r.

universal manipulation of a plurality of.

mirrors for toilet purposes and for the use of milliners, doctors andother specialists requiring an indefinite variety of' mirroradjustments.

To these ends, ,my invention consists in the combination of elementshereinafter more particularly described and definitely pointed out inthe claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a device, embodying thefeatures of my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of one of the mirrors asitwould appear in its supporting Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken uponthe line 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a plan view of the main extensiblesupporting part. Fig. 5 is a face of the clip which supports theexpansible mirror-holding arms, and Fig. 6 is a section taken upon theline 6-6, Fig. 2, viewed in the direction of the arrow there shown.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a base member which may be placedupon a table or other support or if desired, secured as a bracket to awall or upright by means of a central screw or bolt. Pivoted to the base1, at a plurality of equi-distant points 2, preferably three in number,which are equi-distan't from a common center, .are pairs of parallelbars 3, which are in turn jointedly connected at 4, to like bars 5, theouter ends of which are jointedly attached by means of rivets 6, to lugs7, formed upon body parts 8, attached by means of rivets 9,

to a tubular member or ring 10.

Pivotally secured to the upper part of the tube 10 at diametricallyopposite points 11, 11, are lugs 12, 12, which areintegral with aconnecting plate 13. This plate in turn is centrally pivoted at 141, toa. flat plate 15, having slots 16,16 therein arranged in aline-Specification of Letters Patent.

ment with each other and equally distant from the pivotal point 1 1.Extending loosely through the slots 16, so as to be moved therein, arerivets 17, 17, which are passed through bores in, and serve to connectand form pivots for counterpart lazy-tongs members 18, 19, and 20, 21,respectively. WVashers' 22,

Figs. 3 and 4:, are interposed between the plate 15 and said lazy-tongsmembers.

'Connectedwith the lazy-tongs members 18, 19, 20 and 21, by means ofrivets in a well known way, so as to extend in opposite directions fromthe central pivoted supportingplate 15, are similar lazy-tongs members,generally designated by 23 in Fig. 1. The rivets 2andj25, in the endmembers 26 and 27, respectively, are passed through slots 28, 29 inbracket members 30, also shown in Fig. 2, having'lugs'31Q, 31, jointedlyconnectedat 32 tocounterpart lugs33,

33 upon oppositely extended curved arms 3 1, 3 1, which are in turnpivotally connected at diametrically opposite points to the frame 36, ofa m'irror'generally designated by'37, one mirror being at the, end ofeach lazytongs extension. It will be noted that the backs of the mirrorsare shown in 1, and the front in Fig. 2. In Fig. 6 is shown a crosssection of the circular frame andthe manner in which the glass andbacking are secured therein.

Each of the several joints of themain support as well as those'ofthelazy-tongs extension, are. adjusted by tightening the rivets so as toproduce suflicient friction therein to maintain the parts in any prede-'termined position in which they may be placed. or exam le. the heightof the supporting ring 8. which with its connections supports. For thepurpose of extending or retracting said arms or lazv-tongs exten-'sions. I provide arms 38, 39, Fig. 1. the

drawing together or separation of which 7 may enable said parts tobeextended or retracted to any desired extent, or swung upon theuniversal joint to any position,

horizontal, vertical or otherwise to suit the Should the partrequirements of the user. 1 be placed upon a table, itis obvious thatthe adjustable parts connected therewith would extend upwardly and theiradjustment would merely serve to raise or lower cause the universaljoint support to be' moved horizontally so as to hold the mirrorsupporting arms at any desired distance away from the wall.

The advantages of my improved device for the purposes intended are tooobvious to require special mention. It'will be noted that the mainextensible supports and the extensible mirror supporting arms balancedupon a universal joint, afford facilities for unlimited adjustment whilein use and enabletheparts to be compactly folded when not in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. An adjustable mirror support, comprising in combination, a base, atripod form of support having jointed outwardly folding legs, the lowerends of which are j ointedly 7 attached to said base andthe up per endsto a common connecting member having vertical axis, a laterally extendedsupporting member pivotally connected upon a horizontal axis to saidcommon connecting member, mirror supporting means pivotally mounteduponsaid laterally ex tended supporting member, the axes of the 30 twohaving a rectangular relation to each other, and mirrors mounted uponsald mirror supporting means- I 2. An adjustable mirror support,comprising, in combination, a base, a tripod form of support havingjointed, outwardly folding legs, the'lower ends of which are jointedlyattached to said base and the upper ends to a common connecting memberhaving a vertical axis, a laterally extended supporting member pivotallyconnected upon a horizontal axis to said common connecting member,extensible mirror supporting arms pivotally mounted between theirends'upon said latera'lly'extended supporting member, theaxes oi thepivots for supporting said laterally extendedmember, and said armsrespectively having a rectangular relation to each other and mirrorsmounted upon said extensible arms.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses, this 29th day of October, 1914.
